A look at the Kiddos.....

Ava has really grown up the past couple of months. She is such a good sister and LOVES to help Nix. She is now doing "school" at home with mommy and she is so smart. She never forgets anything! She loves to go to dance, story time and recently karate. I will often find her in her room sitting on her bed reading books. She loves playing disney scene it and doing puzzles. She is always so busy and full of life! We love you Ava!!!





Nixon is my sweet little huge baby! He is in the 95% for height, weight and head cir.! He is so sweet and patient. He rarely ever cries and he LOVES his sister! He loves to be held and is now loving fruits and veggies. He is an amazing sleeper and fake coughs to get our attention when he wakes up. We love you little man!

Christmas 2011

I love Christmas! It is such a fun holiday, reason to celebrate and be grateful for my family. We have so many Christmas traditions! Decorations, music, pj's, sunday clothes, movies, family, Christmas lights and yummy food! Speaking of yummy food, we made my moms sugar cookie recipie (best recipie ever!) 96 cookies later we were running around looking for people to take some! It was fun!



We got to spend Christmas Eve with the Bayles Family. We have a tradition of acting out the Nativity. This year Ava was the Angel and Scott was suckered into playing Joseph. Such a fun night. We love our cousins!




My favorite Olsen Family tradition is going to temple square and taking a carriage ride. I love my family! I have the coolest siblings! (we missed you Bri!)





Our Christmas Eve traditions are to open jammies, go look at lights and come home to watch the Polar Express before bed. We then wake up (always so early) have family prayer and head to see what Santa brought. This year Ava asked for a baby Mulan doll. It is all she talked about for 2 months! Nixon unknowingly asked for some bath toys and a Jedi Mickey. Ava also got him a alien toy from Toy Story. We were blessed to have one of Santa's Elves to come stay at our house for the month of December. Tommy Tinsel is a welcomed member to the Bayles Family. In fact, Mom had a hard time not keeping him out all year! We finished off the morning with Breakfast at our house with some of the Bayles Family! Such a great Christmas!!!













God bless us.......EVERYONE!

"Mom, what is that?" (pointing to the guy on the sidewalk dressed up like the statue of liberty for liberty tax)
"That's the statue of liberty."
"Mom, that statue of liberty make Jesus happy!"
"I'm sure he does!"

I LOVE THiS GIRL!

Sounds Like a Plan!

"Mom, when I get little, and Daddy gets little, you're gonna take me to the Mickey Store and buy me a white marry dress and Daddy will take me to the temple to get married and hold me like a princess and ride in a carriage."

Ava's First Dance Concert

Ava was so excited to dance on the stage! It was all she talked about for a good month and when the day finally came.....she put on a show!!! I curled her hair and did her make-up which she thought was so fun. She didn't show an ounce of hesitation to walk out in front of all those people. She did a dance to SANTA BABY and did an amazing job. I quite liked the part when she stopped to pick her wedgie! Oh the smiles she brought to people's faces! I love you Ava! Thanks for that happy day!!! Ava and I waiting back stage THE PERFORMANCE Ava & her proud daddy! We had grandparents, aunts & uncles and lots of cousins come to cheer her on! So special! Ava & Sheryl Ava & Kirra (She taught me dance!) Celebrating with Ice Cream P.S. live footage coming soon!
